		At the bottom, in the background, are representations of famous monuments of Florentine architecture.
		The severely plain wall surfaces of our buildings, both exterior and interior, with ornamentations only at focal points, call for a sort of enrichment that is highly effective without dependence upon the shades and shadows of high relief carving.
		In very many cases, this new kind of metal work, which makes use of the silhouette, of boldly modeled low relief, that contrasts in material with the wall, and that is richly colorful and interesting in technique, is found to meet the requirements.

	The Architecture of Red Vienna 1919-1934 by Eric Mumford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		For those with little familiarity with the complexities of twentieth-century architectural history, this impressively researched study of 1920s socialist housing in the former Austro-Hungarian Imperial capital may be a bit forbidding.
		Shifts in the city administration in Vienna ended this settlement movement by 1924, and Karl Ehn, a Wagner student, led the way towards the building of large perimeter block apartment houses, of which his Karl Marx Hof of 1928 is the best known.
		After being stormed by Austrian fascist militias in 1934, the Red Vienna housing blocks became symbols of defeat, even as some of their architects, like Ehn, were able to continue to work under subsequent regimes.

	Penguin Pool London Zoo by Berthold Lubetkin
		Having studied the habits of penguins he created a penguin enclosure and pool that provides an interesting environment for the penguins, a multiplicity of viewing angles for the spectator and a Modernist building of true clarity and style.

		The overall elliptical shape is referenced in the spiraling intertwined ramps that connect the different levels; these sloping cambered ramps give a dynamic feel to the building.
